Bassist Dave Anderson brings an all-new group to La Zingara for his debut as a leader here, after years of appearances at the venue with The Jones Factor, Tim DeHuff, Arthur Lipner, and others. Dave is widely known as the top freelance bassist in CT, and one of the top players in the greater NY area, having performed for many years with the likes of Art Garfunkel, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Smokey Robinson, Michael McDonald, James Ingram, Rory Block, Kate Taylor and numerous others in pop/rock/ R&B – as well as jazz artists like Bill Evans, Chieli Minucci, Hiram Bullock, Andy Snitzer, Nelson Rangell, Marion Meadows, Jeff Kashiwa, Joe Beck, Regina Carter and a raft of others. Additionally, he’s appeared on over 100 records as a studio session musician, performed in two Broadway shows, and toured the world, taking the stage in over 35 countries. Dave’s new project for 2025 is a presentation of his own music, joined by some of his favorite musicians. With his busy schedule as a hired gun for others over the years, Dave managed to make time to offer his own jazz/fusion unit, The Dave Anderson Group (1998-2016), and The New Dinosaurs, a trumpet-based electronic/tribal/improv power trio (2011-2019). Now, he’s excited to bring a new edition of his own creative vision to life, offering both old and new compositions that meld World Music, 60’s/70’s jazz, Minimalism, and Progressive Rock into a kaleidoscope of soundscapes and grooves.
